[0023] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a folding bicycle ladder includes a fixed ladder 1, a fixed block 2, a movable ladder 3, a special-shaped pin 4, a baffle 5, and a handrail 6.
[0024] A foldable movable ladder 3 is movably connected to the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1 on their opposite outer sides via a special-shaped pin 4. After folding, the movable ladder 3 occupies little space and is easy to install and fix at the bottom of the cargo box. The connection method is as follows: a vertical slide rail 1.1 is opened through the middle section of the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1. A special-shaped pin 4 is slidably connected in each slide rail 1.1. The end of each special-shaped pin 4 passes through the slide rail 1.1 and is rotatably connected to the corresponding vertical bar of the movable ladder 3. The special-shaped pin 4 is set to connect the fixed ladder 1 and the movable ladder 3. The slide rail 1.1 is set to facilitate the vertical movement of the special-shaped pin 4, so that the movable ladder 3 can move up and down relative to the fixed ladder 1. The movable ladder 3 can also rotate around the special-shaped pin 4, so that the movable ladder 3 can be unfolded or folded.
[0025] Fixing blocks 2 with right-angled triangular cross sections are fixed to the top rear side of the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1. The fixing blocks 2 are installed on the bottom box of the cargo box door by passing through bolts, so that the fixed ladder 1 is installed below the cargo box door. The fixing blocks 2 with right-angled triangular cross sections can enhance the installation stability.
[0026] Two vertical baffles 5 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the fixed ladder 1 behind the movable ladder 3. When the movable ladder 3 is unfolded, the movable ladder 3 and the baffle 5 abut against each other. When the workers step on the movable ladder to climb, the baffle 5 provides effective support for the movable ladder 3, enhances the stability of the ladder, and prevents the movable ladder 3 from shaking due to force after it is unfolded and extended, thus ensuring the safety of the workers.
[0027] The top of each of the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1 is provided with a snap-fit groove 1.2. The two snap-fit grooves 1.2 are arranged opposite to each other. When the movable ladder 3 is completely folded, the horizontal bar of the movable ladder 3 is placed in the snap-fit groove 1.2. The folded movable ladder 3 is snapped and fixed by the snap-fit groove 1.2, which helps to reduce the volume of the treadmill ladder and prevent the movable ladder 3 from swinging and injuring people during vehicle operation.
[0028] Foldable handrails 6 are installed on the top front sides of the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1. When inspecting goods in and out of the cargo box, unfolding the handrails 6 provides lateral support to prevent people from slipping and falling, thus improving safety. When the transport vehicle is in motion, folding the handrails 6 can prevent them from scraping other vehicles due to protruding from the cargo box, ensuring safe driving. The handrail 6 includes a fixed shaft 6.1 and a handrail body 6.2. Mounting grooves 1.3 are vertically opened on the top front sides of the two vertical bars of the fixed ladder 1. A mounting plate is fixed on the top inner wall of the mounting groove 1.3. A magnet 7 is horizontally fixed to a fixing shaft 6.1 on the bottom inner wall of the mounting groove 1.3. The bottom of the handrail body 6.2 is rotatably sleeved on the fixing shaft 6.1, and the top of the handrail body 6.2 can be movably placed in the mounting groove 1.3. When the handrail body 6.2 is placed in the mounting groove 1.3, the top of the handrail body 6.2 is attracted and fixed to the magnet 7. The handrail body 6.2 can rotate around the fixing shaft 6.1. When the handrail body 6.2 rotates to be completely inserted into the mounting groove 1.3, the handrail body 6.2 is fixed by the magnet 7, realizing the folding and fixing of the handrail 6.
[0029] A first inclined surface 7.1 is provided on the front side of the magnet 7, which fits against the rear side of the handrail body 6.2. When the handrail body 6.2 is folded, it rotates completely into the mounting groove 1.3, and the handrail body 6.2 is attracted and fixed to the first inclined surface 7.1 of the magnet 7. A limiting plate 8 is vertically fixed at the bottom opening of the mounting groove 1.3, and a second inclined surface 8.1 is provided on the top of the limiting plate 8, which fits against the front side of the handrail body 6.2. When the handrail body 6.2 is unfolded, the second inclined surface 8.1 provides support for the handrail body 6.2, so that the handrail body 6.2 is arranged obliquely upward, making it easier for operators to use for leverage.
[0030] Usage: When the treadmill ladder is in the folded state, the operator first pushes the movable ladder 3 upwards to disengage it from the locking groove 1.2. Next, the operator rotates the movable ladder 3 around the shaped pin 4 to unfold it, while simultaneously pulling the movable ladder 3 downwards, causing the shaped pin 4 to move down the slide rail 1.1. This allows the movable ladder 3 to move downwards relative to the fixed ladder 1 until the movable ladder 3 is unfolded to 180° and its two vertical rods abut against the baffle 5. Then, the operator removes the handrail body 6.2 from the mounting groove 1.3. The bottom of the handrail body 6.2 abuts against the limiting plate 8. The handrail body 6.2 is tilted upward to facilitate the operator's grip and leverage. After the operator enters the cargo box through the step ladder to inspect the goods, the operator closes the cargo box door. The operator first rotates the movable ladder 3 around the special-shaped pin 4 and folds it back, while pushing the movable ladder 3 upward until the crossbar of the movable ladder 3 is locked in the locking groove 1.2. Finally, the handrail body 6.2 is pushed back into the mounting groove 1.3 so that the handrail body 6.2 is attracted to the magnet 7.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
